Beautiful close up view! I guess the mod'ed XTi has no trouble with red.

Real men guide with their hands.

Court Backs E.P.A. Over Emissions Limits

Posted By Dave Snope
Just to make sure people understand, the court is not making a ruling on the science of anthropogenic global warming, or whether it's OK that EPA cherry-picked it's science sources by using the alarmist IPCC assessments, non-peer reviewed papers, gray literature, etc. The court is ruling that the EPA is correctly following the statutes as written by Congress.

On page 32 where the D.C. Court stated.

“In the end, Petitioners are asking us to re-weigh the scientific evidence before EPA and reach our own conclusion. This is not our role.”

Sea Level Rise

Posted By Dave Snope
Bob Tisdale just wrote a paper showing that the so-called sea level rise "hotspots" on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts are not "accelerating" at all, that the trend has been falling since 2002 rather than rising, and that the sea-level anomalies appear to be correlated with the 30-year ENSO cycle.

As with global warming, if you have an agenda you can start and end your short-term plot wherever you see fit to make your point and cause some excitement. But if you are an ethical scientist, and look at how to arrive at all the different trends and their merits like Bob has done here, you get a much less exciting result.

That's a great image for any amount of exposure time. But for 68 minutes, including Ha, sheesh. Glad to see your hard work paying off.

Interesting Passage from "Atlas Shrugged"

Posted By Dave Snope
Great passage. I wonder if she also has a passage for the patient's point of view.

Thanks for the tip. It only plays on Sunday, July 15 in my area. I've got it set to record.

Barbara Walters Interviews Hamas

Posted By Dave Snope
With new Egyptian President Morsi at the helm, those prisoners can hope to be free of the Jews:

Mohammed Morsi told supporters earlier this year,
“Our capital shall not be Cairo, Mecca or Medina. It shall be Jerusalem!”

After Morse won:
“We will look to Egypt to play a big, leading role, a historic role, regarding the Palestinian cause, in helping the Palestinian nation get freedom, return home, and totally end the Gaza siege,” Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas government, told Reuters Television.

1 Person dead from lack of health insurance

Posted By Dave Snope
Your example was OK but kind of boring. Here is a more interesting example, whose death, according to the far far lefties at SF Weekly, had as a significant factor a lack of access to affordable health care and health insurance. Errr, even though she did have access, but perhaps didn't know it, and had her bills paid for by the taxpayers.

RIP Hollie Stevens, aka "The Queen of Clown Porn". Sadly died at only 30 years old.
